Firstly it is nice to see more news coverage coming from Indian villages, its where we will find many amazing things, after all the maximum news one can get from cities is who killed who, who inaugurated what, what one politician said about the other. So this news is a breath of fresh air. Also, we need this type of coverage from the news channel which most of the type try for hot news, and once they get it, repeat the same thing for over a day putting a exclusive tag even though other channels are covering the very same thing.

As for the action of the villagers, it is how villages are, every one cares about one another and want to help out in every possible manner. It is all how the Indian Culture is, and we are losing our roots fast and quick. Keep the Indian Spirit alive. Long Live the Villages of India and its inhabitants.
